What Is The Worst Job You Have Ever Had?

Answer 1

Restaurant Manager. I was salaried, and at 40 hours per week, 16 an hour wasn't bad. but the 40 hour per week job turned out to be close to 90 hours per week.

Waitresses would gripe because the food was slow, but the cooks were overworked. Poor babies, the waitresses could only make 90 per night in 5 hours.

I got yelled at by customers, waitresses refused to bus tables, I fell in the freezer and had to violate my work restrictions because guests were waiting to be seated and there was no one to bus the tables. I had to drive myself to the emergency room barely able to stand up.

I also burned my hand on the grill, spilled pickle juice on my pants and was constantly asked why my drive thru times could not keep up. Never mind that I had no crew and simutaneously had to run grill, the soda fountain, the dressing table, the drive thru, and the cash register.

Because I often did not get out until 4 or 5 in the morning with an hour's drive home, I often fell asleep behind the wheel and would have to pull over in a parking lot and sleep just to make it home.

The final straw was when the computers froze, I had to re-enter all of the guests tabs, the computer refused to print in the kitchen and the food did not get cooked, prompting me to have to give out free food. The waitress refused to give an adult a kids meal and was nasty so I had to take the guests order. The waitress refused and when I told her that if she would not take the order she needde to clean up her tables and go home. After yelling at me in front of the customers, I told her to leave. She then called all of the other managers and talked the other waitress into walking out with her.

At 2:30 in the morning, I looked at the clock. I'm sore because I violated my work restrictions, had no waitstaff and a full house, no way to get the printers to work, and asked myself...was this making a better life for myself and my familhy?

That was my last night as a restaurant manager.

It is not worth 34K per year for a 90 hour per week job like that.

Answer 2

Haha, good question! Definetly working at Abercrombie and Fitch.. what a load of bullsh*t. Even though I was 18, I seriously felt like I was back in the 7th or 8th grade. Who spends 70$ on a hoodie sweatshirt? Seriously. Everyone was so concieted and you had to stand around and act like you were doing something. Suuuuuch a waste of time.

Answer 3

Working sales for a famous gourmet food company, the problem was not the angry customer who just sat down to supper, or the one that just buried their spouse that week. The problem was no human decency because the only time it was acceptable to let them go without pushing a mandatory number of sale attempts IS if they are sitting down to eat, but for the poor person suffering loss has to be pushed and upset more! sorry...there are more important things in this world at at times like that is NOT gourmet food.
